Craftsmen Style Mail Slots, Electrical Switch Plates and Doorknob Sets – Creating a Theme for the Home

         Craftsmen style hardware is one of those wonderful styles that fit well into almost every type of home, no matter which period it was built in. The rustic style of design creates a wonderful unique quality to each piece while the textured design qualities offer added detail. One of the greatest ways to tie the decorating theme in your home together is by introducing a common theme from the outside into the inside of the home and have it be consistent throughout each room. Choosing hardware that will be used consistently in each room no matter what (doorknobs and electrical covers for example) can guarantee that the look will flow easily from room to room.

                           

            Subtle details often make the biggest impact in decorating because they appear in some of the most commonly used home items. Not many people will pay attention to the ornate lamp in the corner that is to be seen but not touched, however they will notice a beautiful new doorknob set every time they walk in and out of the room. A visitor walking up to the front door may not take in the expensive wood of the door but they will notice the mail slot displayed prominently in the middle of it.

            Craftsmen style hardware was a movement that gained extreme popularity in the United States during the post Victorian era. It placed new emphasis on the value of the craftsmen and individually created pieces that showed human error and allowed for flaws in design. This was a rebellion, of sorts, against the mass produced designs that were popular in upper class homes during the Victorian period. Craftsmen style homes and by extension, home hardware was accessible to a wider group of people because it was less expensive to purchase.

            Many historical homes today are actually remnants of the craftsmen era (trademark "bungalow" style homes in most historical districts are a prime example). Introducing new hardware can be a great way to update the look of your home without hurting the integrity of the original design. Craftsmen style hardware is also a great addition to modern or rustic style homes because it is so versatile.

                                  

            Antique reproduction hardware is available online and in a variety of finishes and designs. Search for solid brass construction to ensure high quality and don't be afraid to ask questions about alternative styles or coordinating pieces. LookInTheAttic & Company offers a great selection of Craftsmen style hardware for the home or business and they offer free design assistance and architectural expertise.
